  Album Title:      GOD HAS SMILED ON ME PART ONE B-Side:              GOD HAS SMILED ON ME PART TWO Artist:                 JAMES BROWN INTRODUCING REV. AL SHARPTON & THE GOSPEL ENERGIES Label:                 ROYAL KING RECORDS  KR7-900 Year:                   1981 Rev. Al Sharpton on James Brown and their song, "God Has Smiled On Me ": I thought about how in late 1981 he took me to a recording studio in Greensville, S.C. (the hometown of my mentor, the Rev. Jesse Jackson), where we recorded that night his only recorded gospel song, titled "God Has Smiled On Me. " He sang the lyrics and had me preach a sermonette between certain verses that he sang. James Brown really believed that God, despite his being born to desperate circumstances, smiled on him. The difference is he accepted it and smiled back at God; and because of that, the world will never be the same! "We had a hand-clapping, foot-stomping good time giving God the glory for giving us the Godfather, " said gospel singer Derrick Monk, who roamed up and down the aisles at Brown's funeral service where he sang an emotional version of  "God Has Smiled On Me " during the service.
